Lots of nice stuff in here. This is a project im currently working on.http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/GNon18s/gnwashed.png -
Sorry to post three red cars in a row, but this is a car that did NOT get invited to Optimas event. Im still trying to figure out how this car got passed over. ..900hp and 2,700lbs. would have been cool to see this car out there. Maybe they figured they had enough red cars with flarehttp://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/GNon18s/semamustang.pngd fenders already, Lol

Jeeez. 5 pages of you guys crying about "the other guys have too much money" and "Our guy didn't score high enough". Welcome to the car hobby and especially racing events! The other guy always has more money. You guys should just be happy a Conquest was invited to the event, I know I am. For anybody on here who thinks John is the only guy staying up late nights in his garage working on his car must never visit sites like Pro-touring.com or Lateral-g.net. A lot of the Optima cars have lengthy build threads on other sites and those guys cut, grind, weld, block sand, ect. ect. on their cars for years before they show up at an event like Optima. ...Only to have the StarQuest community bash them. What a shame.

I'm not familiar with D2 coilovers. Are these adjustable in compression/rebound or are they a fixed valve design? -
Ultimate Streetcar Invitational....Optima Batteries SEMA

I don't wanna mess up Convettes thread, but my cam is a Texas Speed 228R (.588 lift) and is a great all around cam. I still gained 60hp at the wheels over a stock LS6. That's why I recommended heads/cam for Convette. He could go a little bigger on the cam (@.600 lift and 230's duration) plus a good CNC program on the heads and he would see 100+hp over what he has now. That's more than enough for the autocross or the "Speed stop challenge" at Optima, and that's 2/3 of the event. I love boost, but there is no point in boosting a stock LS1 because it will just blow up on a road course. (More specifically, it will break the ring lands on the no.7 piston). -

I think I can chime in on this. First and foremost, I hope you get the invite! Secondly, try not to over think all this horsepower stuff and just try to have fun and enjoy the experience! I run some track days with American Streetcar Series/Pro-touring.com and past and present OUSCI cars. I usually place respectable with a cam-only LS6 corvette. I just ran the Motorstate Challenge two weeks ago in Michigan with a lot of those guys. I would recommend sending your heads out to Advanced Inductions or Total Engine Airflow and getting a custom ground cam from any of the well know dealers or just call Comp directly. That should get you @450whp with only around $2,000 investment. That's cheap compared to any of your other options. You would be surprised how many LS7 cars I've passed with only 407whp.http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/GNon18s/CarsatLane.png -
Your first sentence you agree with me, then your last sentence you tell me I "like to play pretend". Haha

It wasn't illegal for George Zimmerman to be carrying a gun by the way. That is a legal activity. ..If you want to see Zimmerman or anybody else go to jail for 30yrs you need to find them doing something ILLEGAL.
